Hello 2010 Digiland!

Happy New Year to all of you! Look who's slacking? Me of course! And there are tons to do for this first month of the year. How are your holidays? Did you have fun with your loved ones like I did? I'm sure you all ate too much like me so aside from trying to keep our resolutions for this year, we are also in a month of dieting.

Anyway, I am saddened to announce that I left Scrap That Idea's Creative Team. There are a lot of things going on right now with my personal life that I do not feel that I'd be competent enough to give the store my hundred percent commitment. And because parting is such a sweet sorrow, I am giving away Mel Hains' Things That Go kit as a parting gift. Here is a preview.

If you like this colorful kit for boys, just post a comment here in this post until January 9 (Saturday) and I will make my son draw lots for the lucky winner. I will post the winner on January 10. Goodluck!

For those who wants to scrap a layout but seems to have lost mojo because of some slacking during the holidays you might want to check out on Anita's Monthly Challenge at DSC. This challenge just kicked off this month and for January, DSC is challenging you to create a layout using a black or dark background and using a black and white picture. Those who will join the challenge will get a $2 at Anita's Shop and Mr. Random will also give out $5 to a lucky winner. Head on to Anita's Monthly Challenge to get your January freebie (a paperpack) too! So there's nothing to lose, it's a win-win situation. You get a freebie, will be able to create a layout, and you'll also have a coupon! What are you waiting for? Join us at Digital Scrap Cafe!

Mesmerized by Twilight

I was never a Twilight fan. Really. Well, not until I have to create a layout for a Twilight themed kit. I felt horrified at first for I didn't know how to give justice to Sara's kit but then I decided to express myself using the kit and here's what I came up with.


However, when the girls were discussing and gushing about Twilight (we were all talking about the book though, I think), I got curious and so I decided to read the book myself. I have to say that I loved it! It's mesmerizing and enchanting to say the least. I am now reading New Moon since the girls said it's a good read too. You might as well check out this Twilight kit by Sara at Scrap That Idea.

It's fun to play with! In fact I am making a hybrid card for my friend who gushes over Edward Cullen. lol

Things I'm Thankful of..

My countrymen are a only few steps away to start the healing process from their bitter experience with the typhoon Ondoy. Though most of us are scarred by this event, life goes on and what's good with Filipinos is that we still find a hundred and one ways to laugh or smile amidst any tragedy. I would also like to thank those who have helped Willa's family by sharing their thoughts, prayers, and money with them. I've known Willa for almost a decade now and we haven't even met in person but even though the relationship we had was just like that, she's like a family to me. So thank you very much to all my scrappy friends from different stores and forum for everything.

So as I have said, life goes on and I would like to share with all of you this fabulous freebie from Pom, my co site CT from Digital Scrap Cafe. This mosaic strip layer is to die for and we're lucky that she shared this with us! Click on the image to go directly to Pom's blog and get it.

Moving on, I am so bragging this personal blinkie that Nancy, my co-CT from Scrap That Idea, made for me. Here it is.Isn't it lovely? Nancy's making all of us our blinkies for free and she doesn't even know that she's good at it! Also, Nancy's hosting a contest at STI's Blog so go ahead and check on it, you might win a $5 coupon plus a special prize too. So that's all for now, I will be back in a while to announce some new releases from the CTs I'm in. Thank God it's Sunday!

Scrap That Idea

A few months ago, when I was chatting with my scrappy cousin Suzanne, I told her that I got accepted in my first CT application for Sir Scrapalot and that I have a new designer idol which is Mel Hains. So I was yakking about stalking her and her freebies and then she advised me to practice and practice and practice on scrapping so that when Mel decides to have a CT call again, I will be able to apply and be accepted.

So anyway, that was a few months ago. I am now creating layouts, and well, hybrids for three designers whom I really adore and love and I have also said that I am one of the site CTs for Digital Scrap Cafe. Last month, during my stalking hour with Mel, I have read about a Site CT Call for Scrap That Idea and I have thought hard whether I can manage to apply and get involved in another team. I have thought for a week (no exaggeration really) and decided to have it a go since I'm only taking my chances. Well well, guess what? I got accepted! Woot!

With this current development in my scrapping stint, I am beginning to think of it as my real job than teaching. *lol* I may not be that active from the other forums but I will be visiting from time to time, you know I'll be busy. ;) And you guys may want to check out Scrap That Idea, the store isn't new btw, and they have awesome stuffs to sell for you there. Not to mention that the products there are very affordable.

So there goes my Monday for now. I still haven't had enough sleep from the party we went to last night which I will be posting photos and some stories when I get sober.
